I Might Just Be

sunshine (1)

Contact is from The Blue Swell out May 6, 2016.

You're on some kind of specialty
You wanna use my energy
Halfway gone with the radio on
But you're all wrong and the plummet's long

Do you wanna know what's real to me?
You got a patent on frailty
Halfway blissed but you're gonna miss
How you're sickened, all your weekends
Ha Ha

We made contact
Tell me did you mean that
I need to understand
I need to understand
I need to understand

Yesterday I could barely stay
Awake at all am I slipping away
Breathing fumes I can hardly use
Did we ever? I remember
Ha Ha
Ha Ha

We made contact
Tell me did you mean that
I need to understand
I need to understand
I need to understand

We made contact
Tell me did you mean that
I need to understand
I need to understand
I need to understand
I need to understand
I need to understand

Talk Show - Stress

Peel Dream Magazine is the musical vehicle for NYC's Joe Stevens, who launched the band in 2018 with the critically acclaimed album "Modern Meta Physic." With it Stevens created a mysterious, liminal tribute to the hazy end of ‘90s dream-pop – a masterful mix of first-class songwriting precision and train-window sonic impressionism that duly found its place on numerous "Best of 2018" lists.

After 18 months of writing and live shows with a shifting cast of band members, Peel Dream are back with "Agitprop Alterna," an album that pushes the group's dreamy, motorik-heavy sound to a deeply melodic and beautifully discordant place. The album pays homage to a strain of mod-ish U.K. pop that spans early My Bloody Valentine and Talulah Gosh, up through early Stereolab, Belle & Sebastian, and even Broadcast. It's also indebted to stateside pop bands that were cut from a similar cloth -- Rocketship, Lilys, Yo La Tengo, and even "Nevermind"-era Nirvana.

Where the creation of "Modern Meta Physic" was a solitary pursuit, "Agitprop Alterna" found Stevens channeling the collaborative spirit of the band's ever-rotating live incarnation in the studio. The album is ultimately defined by the tension of difference: between itself and its predecessor; intertwined male-female vocals; the music's languid dreaminess and concrete sonic immediacy.

Deeply rooted in the Brechtian ideas of art as a tool to spur action, "Agitprop Alterna" deepens the connection between the existential and the interpretive first explored on "Modern Meta Physic," giving the listener space to find their own meaning in shimmering guitars, fuzzed-out synths, and buzzing organ drones. It is a rejection of manipulation in all its forms and a buzzsaw against complacency – soft-focus pop whose clear-cut message is that you get to decide the message. It's a rare trick to agitate without being obvious: perhaps that makes "Agitprop Alterna" the most Peel Dream Magazine-like statement yet.
